Moving

I've spent the past week moving, or at least working on moving. Our apartment is new and not totally finished. Our landlord assumed that we would move in on the specified date whether the place was finished or not, however, we have refused to make the move until construction is finished. So we've basically spent the past week sitting in our 'living room' while workers and repairmen pretend to be working all around us. It has definitely been interesting and in this process I have been informed that I am extremely meticulous and downright picky. Here are the things that I am 'demanding'.

1) Doorhandles on BOTH sides of my bathroom door, not just one.
2) Wires from my cooler not be hanging out of the wall and plugged into the nearest plug. And for the wires to not just be twisted together and shoved into the plug but to have an actual pronged plug.
3) To have the sink actually be attached to the wall instead of being propped against it
4) To have a washing machine that drains water into a pipe instead of into my kitchen floor
5) To have the gaping holes around the window in the bathroom patched to keep out dirt
6) Light switches

Apparently here in the Sandbox, these are irrational demands?!?!? I don't know, but with a little pressure the landlord is finally moving and things are getting taken care of. Hopefully I will be in my own apartment within a week!
